Figure 4-67
1.
Roll the bucket out and hold it slightly ahead of the
arm.
NOTICE!
Do not drag or push the bucket on the ground
while the machine is traveling.

Raise the boom slowly and retract the arm at the
same time. Once the arm passes the vertical
position, lower the boom slowly and keep the bucket
moving parallel to the ground.
Operation Precautions
0002924
Figure 4-68
WARNING
• Always wear appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE) and clothing during operation.
• Clear all personnel and obstacles around the
machine and the work area. Inspect the machine
and its surroundings during operation. Be careful
not to allow the upper structure to hit any objects
when operating the machine in narrow or
confined spaces.
• When loading a dump truck, do not swing the
bucket over the truck cab or any people on the
job site.
• Operate the machine on a hard, level surface.
When working in a ditch or on a road shoulder,
keep the tracks perpendicular to the work face
and the travel motors at the rear of the machine.
Placing the machine in this position helps
facilitate escape if a collapse occurs.
• When working under a cliff or high embankment,
make sure the work area is secure.
Failure to follow these warnings could result in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE!
• Do not allow the arm to interfere with the tracks
during operation.
• Do not use the swinging force of the machine to
move rocks or break walls.
• Adjust the length and depth of the cut so the
bucket is full after each cycle.
• To improve efficiency, a full bucket is more
important than loading speed.
• Do not use the side of the bucket to level
materials or strike objects.
Failure to follow these notices could result in
damage to the machine or cause it to operate
improperly.
